Consolidation Run 23 πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

B210K - W2R3

6K 🎯

Toughest run to date πŸ˜“ I definitely think I need to take a few day’s rest before Week 3! It’s also much warmer than I thought so I instantly regretted wearing a compression t-shirt and jacket! Sweated absolute buckets!

As I was going further (even though I’ve done this distance before) I eased off the gas ⛽️ with the additional aim to stay sub 6 minutes per km. Mainly because I really do want to keep hitting a sub 30 minute 5K as I progress - even if it’s not a PB!

5K - sub 30 minutes βœ…πŸ’ͺ

Next week all the distances of each three individual runs increase so I do think a two day rest period will be on the cards at some point .... although, I always say that πŸ˜‚

Happy running all! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Still shorts & tee for me, too πŸ‘

Well done for your run. I’m thrilled when I achieve under 7’ pace and even then I can’t sustain it for long! πŸ˜‚
